Neutrophil-to-mean platelet volume ratio as a new predictor for overall and cancer-specific survival in patients with localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: The present study investigated the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-mean platelet volume ratio (NMPVR) for overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients treated with nephrectomy for localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
